I was 6 years old and living in a small house behind the soda pop bottling plant owned by my parents. I remember my father telling my how important this event was and me trying to stay awake for the moonwalk, but I do not think I did. I do remember on a later mission that I looked up at the moon with binoculars to try and see the spacecraft leave the surface, no luck.

I still have 2 functioning rotary dial phones at my current home, one in the garage and the other on my workbench.
